Getting Ready

So last weekend we had a bit of a scare, and I spent the entire weekend laid up in a hospital bed.  It was miserable, and it made me very appreciative of my health because I'm pretty sure I was going crazy after about 24 hours of bed rest!  Long story short, Lilly got some steroids so in case she decides to make an early debut, she'll be a little more developed!  If anything, that weekend gave us the wake up call we needed to get things a little more prepared for baby girl! 

Everyone always talks about how different it is with the second one, and I am feeling this on a daily basis.  I feel like I am not only neglecting her already because there is so much other stuff to be done, but I also feel Lainey is not getting the attention she deserves either.  It's just hard!  Definitely had some guilt-battling this week which has prompted me to get on the ball and get some stuff done so we can spend as much time with Lainey as possible before all of our worlds are (positively, but incredibly) rocked!  

The nursery is almost finished, and I will try to post pictures of that soon.  We packed Lilly's bag and have gotten together Lainey's big sister present "from" Lilly.  We also put the car seats in both cars today...totally surreal.  I was able to get a lot of my sub plans done while I was in the hospital, and I continued to work very hard on them this week.  All in all, I think we are ready for her arrival...or at least as ready as we're going to be!  We just keep praying that she will come when God is ready for her to come, and that He gives us the strength, patience, health, and confidence to be ready for that time too.  It's crazy that we only have 5 more weeks!  Can't wait to meet our baby girl!

Part of our hospital luggage.  All we need now is Lainey's "Big Sister" outfit and my bag, and we'll be good to go!

And here I am at 34 weeks...not really sure how much bigger or uncomfortable I can get, but it's worth every second!
